Council streamingCity Council got a preview of their Capital Plan for the 2016 budget.

Director of Financial Services Shannon Saucier says the report looked at where the budget would be spending the majority of their money; renewing existing assets, growth or strategic investments. This covered the General Capital Budget, and the Water and Wastewater budget.

Saucier says the plan is to spend most of the money in renewing existing assets.

She says this is a different way to present this budget report.

She says in previous years these reports were done by business unit – but this gives council a better perspective to approach the Capital Budget from a strategic standpoint.

There will be an open meeting on December 8th where the public can present their ideas on the Capital Plan.
